Ling also shook her head.
"There's nothing I want."
"Then you are so lucky."
Ling nodded without caring. She was indeed very happy, and she never had to worry about money. However, she didn't want anything because she knew that what she wanted could no longer be recovered.
"Just now, Sister Shio was standing in the rain. Did she have another request?"
"Well, this time I am pretending to be the reincarnation of the daughter of the Sugiyama family who died 16 years ago."
Generally speaking, although the work of a PA is not confidential, it is not suitable to be disclosed casually, as it may cause trouble to the work. However, for the girl in front of him, although it was only the first time they met, Shio felt that they were very compatible, so he told her intentionally or unintentionally.
Ling also found it a little unbelievable.
Can a reincarnated daughter also pretend to be one?
The daughter of the Sugiyama family is named Sugiyama Yuki. 16 years ago, Sugiyama Yuki, who was only seven years old, disappeared on her way back from the first grade of elementary school. Her body was found by the river three days later with her eyes gouged out.
It caused a sensation at the time because more than one girl had her eyes gouged out. The girl was a serial killer.
It’s a pity that the killer disappeared after that and has not been caught until now.
Sugiyama Sachiko's eye color is a little special, her right eye is a light golden brown, which is why Shio wears cosmetic contact lenses. After Sachiko passed away, her father has been unwilling to believe the truth. Until now, he still lives in the past 16 years, and is confused every day.
So when the Sugiyama family heard about the PA agency, they thought of hiring someone to pretend to be the reincarnation of Sachiko. They wanted Mr. Sugiyama to think that Sachiko had passed away and was living a happy life, so he could cheer up.
Such a request sounds incredible, and it is certainly more difficult to do, but this does not pose a problem for Shio.
Because as a PA, she is professional.
Chapter 469: The Murderer
"Have you heard? There have been several cases of murderers digging out people's eyes recently."
"Yes, but it wasn't published in the newspaper."
"Idiot, this kind of vicious case will not be reported in the newspapers before it is solved in order to prevent the public from panicking. The editorial office has been informed by the Metropolitan Police Department. I live nearby and only found out about it when I saw the cordon."
"real or fake?"
"Why would I lie to you? I heard this happened 16 years ago. Maybe the murderer is the same person."
Rumors are like that, the more you try to block them, the more people will be interested in spreading them by word of mouth.
At the same time, at the ZAT base, Moriyama also received a letter of cooperation from the Metropolitan Police Department.
"The Metropolitan Police Department asked us for help in this case."
"A normal murder?"
Kitajima didn't quite understand. Even if it was a case of a serious nature, it was still within the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Police Department and their ZAT team should not be involved.
"Maybe the Metropolitan Police Department is being pushed into a corner. Even if the news of a case like this is blocked, it will spread quickly. What's more, it happened in Tokyo. The cabinet has issued a death order to solve the case within a deadline." Araki said. He knew some inside information.
"But even so, this is obviously man-made. There is no sign of alien technology at all, and it has nothing to do with us ZAT."
Bei Dao was telling the truth, but the way he pouted and held the pen between his lips and nose still looked a bit annoying.
"That's what the Metropolitan Police Department is asking us to do. They want us to investigate and rule out the possibility of monsters or aliens being involved."
If aliens are involved, no matter how many police officers the Metropolitan Police Department sends out, it will be useless. Technology that surpasses humans makes any means of investigation useless.
But if we can confirm that it is really just an Earthling who committed the crime, the Metropolitan Police Department still has a chance of solving the case in the short term. It just requires more manpower.
On the other hand, after two days of hard work, Kobayakawa Shio finally confirmed in Mr. Sugiyama's mind that she was Sachiko's reincarnation.
Although this sounds difficult, it is actually not that difficult as long as there is an insider.
As for the entire Sugiyama family, except for Mr. Sugiyama, the second daughter of the Sugiyama family, Sugiyama Kozue, and Mrs. Sugiyama, who is the client, are her accomplices and will cooperate with her.
If she really wanted to play the role of Sugiyama Yuki and make Mr. Sugiyama believe it, of course, such a thing could not come from Shio's own mouth.
Instead, he seemed to inadvertently perform many behaviors that were very similar to Yukiko's behavior habits, which planted the seeds of doubt in Mr. Sugiyama's heart.
Let Mr. Sugiyama bring it up himself, but Shio pretends not to believe in reincarnation, playing hard to get, and then "inadvertently" reveals something that only the Sugiyama family would know.
For example, the storage room was mistaken for a guest room, but 16 years ago, it was indeed a guest room.
The effect is remarkable.
Mr. Sugiyama finally accepted that Sachiko had been dead for 16 years, and now she has been reincarnated and is living a happy life.
Isn't this what he hopes for most in his heart!
So he stopped deceiving himself and lived in the past 16 years ago. He changed his muddle-headed life and became clear-headed.
Shio and the Sugiyama family spent two happy days and celebrated Christmas together.
Sugiyama gave out the gift that he had not been able to give out for 16 years, the doll that had even become somewhat oxidized.
"Shio, are your current parents treating you well?"
"that's great."
This was a lie, her biological father didn't even know she existed, and her mother was away from home all year round because of work.
Her identity cannot even be known to the world. After all, a pure film queen cannot get married, let alone have a 16-year-old daughter.
But now she plays a girl with a happy family.
"That's good," but Mr. Sugiyama obviously believed it. Her happiness was the best thing for her.
"Shio, don't come over here again. This is not a good thing. Stay with your current parents. The most important thing is to be happy every day."
"As long as you are happy, it is more important than anything else."
This is the only wish Mr. Sugiyama made for Christmas.
Shio felt that if she was really the reincarnation of Sugiyama Kou, she would be happy all her life with such a blessing.
It's a pity that she was just an actor who didn't get the consent of the person involved. She doesn't expect to be blessed, but she just hopes that if Sachiko is still alive, she won't blame her.
Zhixu had not prepared anything originally, but something in her heart made her decide to give a Christmas gift, a glass ball.
That was a gift from Grandma Kikuchi.
Legend has it that as long as you face the sun, you can see what you want most.
"Isn't this an urban legend?" the second daughter, Uesugi Sho, asked in surprise.
It's an urban legend, but it does exist. Shio doesn't need this, she won't indulge in false fantasies, and she doesn't think there's anything unfortunate about her life.
She inherited her good acting skills and good looks from her mother, so she can thrive in a special and high-paying job like a PA, and her salary is enough to pay for her high school tuition in an aristocratic school.
Moreover, not to mention her father, who is also a well-known actor and doesn't even know she exists, her mother, although she can't see her often due to objective reasons, still cares about her and loves her.
Such wealth is enough to make her luckier than many people in the world.
So Mr. Sugiyama needs this comfort more than himself. Just like the little girl who lit a match, she can temporarily forget the pain in the world.
Just as Lingye hoped, it snowed in Tokyo on Christmas. In the afternoon, the snow had piled up on the roadside, and some people were making snowmen and having snowball fights.
"Be sure to be safe on the way back. How about I drive you?"
After sending Shio to the door, Mr. Sugiyama was still a little worried.
"It doesn't matter, I'm already 16 years old."
With that, the commission was concluded. Behind Mr. Sugiyama, Sugiyama Kozue and Mrs. Sugiyama bowed silently to express their gratitude.
Mr. Sugiyama finally resolved the knot that had been in his heart for 16 years.
At this time, a man in a brown suit walked by. Perhaps because of the cold, he wrapped his clothes tightly and glanced at Shio's face.
"Sugiya, is this your daughter?"
"Ah, Dr. Mizuhara."
Sugiyama did not answer the question, yes or no, he could not tell. Dr. Mizuhara was a surgeon at a nearby clinic.
The profession of doctor has a high salary and social status. Apart from saying hello, there is no interaction between me and the Sugiyama family.
It was just a casual glance, but that sight made Shio feel strangely chilled.
But Mizuhara didn't stay, just nodded and left.
Mizuwon returned to his clinic, but it was closed on Christmas Day. Private clinics do not need to be on duty 24 hours a day, 365 days a year like large hospitals.
Close the door, and the cold air and falling snow will be locked out. Lock it.
Mizuhara took off his coat and shook it. The snowflakes melted after falling to the ground, making the entrance a little wet. He took off his shoes and went into the house without cleaning.
He had more important things to do than this. Just like a beloved child gets a toy, he also got a favorite collection.
He opened the can of formalin in the storage room and soaked the pair of eyeballs hidden in his clothes in it. No matter how you look at it, it is so beautiful.
"Why, have you hunted new prey?"
Mizuhara was not surprised by the sudden sound in the room where there should have been no one else.
There is no 'people' here, it only refers to the people on Earth.
The one who was speaking was a strange creature, obviously an alien, but unlike those law-abiding "celestial beings", it did not come to Earth through formal channels.
If they are discovered, they will undoubtedly be expelled. If they do anything harmful to humanity, they may even be exterminated.
It didn't do anything. To be more precise, it didn't do anything by itself, because there were many interesting people on this planet who shared the same ideals as it, such as those who liked killing and destruction, so it didn't need to do anything by itself.
It is really strange that the Country of Light would protect the people of Earth. This is clearly a dark planet. After all, there are so many people who yearn for darkness.
Suwon is one of them.
The recent rumored 'murderer' is not its responsibility. After all, the murderer already existed 16 years ago. It just once again aroused the surgeon's interest in his unique hobby.
"It's okay to indulge in your hobbies. My toys can help you get rid of the police's suspicion. But, isn't it time to do something serious?"
The alien just watched Mizuhara fiddling with his collection, several pairs of eyeballs already soaking in jars on the shelf.
The obsession with beautiful eyes is so great that one is willing to commit murder.
16 years ago, he had to give up his hobby because the police chase was getting closer and closer. Now with the help of aliens, he is fearless.
"Come to the point. What 'Miracul Gem' are you looking for? It's just a broken stone from an urban legend. Where do you want me to find it?"
"The Mirakul gem is not a broken stone. It's such a waste to keep it in the hands of you humans. I never expected you to find any clues. Now I just want to inform you that I have found the gem. Bring it back to me immediately."
Mizuhara frowned. Even though the person was an alien, he didn't like the other person's tone of voice.
